Bug description
Tested in latest c.nc.com
Even if it is a calendar example, I think the general status handling happens on the server. If I'm wrong, feel free to move the ticket to the repository it belong to.
Automated status, set from the calendar overwrites my manually set status.
Example use case: I set a "out of office" status during vacation. But during working time, when there is a appointment in my calendar, the status shows "in a meeting", no hint that I'm on vacation:
Steps to reproduce
- Set your own status
- Wait until a automated status kick-in (e.g. a meeting starts according to your calendar)
- check your status
Expected behavior
Custom set status should be prioritized over automatically set status.
If I state explicitly that I'm out of office, traveling or whatever, than this is should be more important than any automatically detected states. Also if I join a call while being on vacation, or traveling it is still more important to know my personal status and not the system status.

Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are named. Reproduce the issue by setting a manual status, starting a calendar event, and checking the resulting status; then trace the server-side handling of manual and automated statuses. Done means an explicitly set status remains visible when an automated calendar status is triggered.
